[Fix'n it]

my master bedroom currently has no heat duct in it. and the room still stays warm.

in the basement, there is a 6" duct that runs under this bedroom. it is for the front bedroom. i was thinking of putting a (idk what is is called = you cut a hole in the 6" duct. then place this part that is 1/2 of a 6" pipe, that has another duct/hole that goes 90deg) on the 6" duct for the master BR. seeing as how i don't need "full" flow, would this part work ok ?

i think so, but i am asking anyway.

btw, i googled to find what this part is called = nothing.

That is a 8" pipe unit. You will be robbing heat from the front bedroom and may not be happy with either room after that so I would not recommend it. Better to run a pipe from the main duct or if it was me and your electric rates are reasonable just buy a oil filled radiator heater from HDepot and use it to supplement your room.

yeah, i know that is an 8" = i didn't want to search for the 6".

running the master br on its own duct = i would not be able to put the boot where it needs to go. as the other duct is already there. that is why i want to tap into what is there already. i believe that this duct flows enough air to supply both rooms. and i can adjust the vents to balance it out.

this is where the vent needs to go. from below.

Is the bedroom that it already goes to over heating? If not, then it probably doesn't flow enough to do both rooms.

Yep, the velocity in both rooms will drop drastically and you may not be happy with either or get enough flow.

bedroom 2 does not over heat. but it is heating 2 rooms = the living room does not have a register yet.

i put the saddle take off in. it works just as i expected = most of the heated air goes right on past this take off. very little comes up. though, i will say that i didn't cut a clean 6" hole in the main duct = i made a square 4"x4" hole = angle grinder. as it turns out, how i cut the whole, there was some metal that i just pushed down into the airflow. both rooms now have enough heat.
